An excellent school! A great experience, as parents we looked at many options and decided to send our child to St. Mary's. A decision that has been a blessing. We live and own a business in Pueblo. The atmosphere at the school helps develop leaders and independent thinker's. The faculty and staff are superior and caring. Our oldest will graduate this year and has been accepted with Scholarship to a major Catholic University. Our youngest will follow in her sister's footsteps and start her freshman year at St. Mary's next year. We look forward with great anticipation to the next four years.

Awesome school and outstanding combination of academic, athletic, and spiritual education. Small class sizes and personal instruction with caring teachers. There is a wonderful STEM program and a large percentage of students participate in multiple activities. I've had several children go through the school and they have been well-prepared for life. The school is strong in the Catholic faith and values. The school is weak in the performing arts but tries to support these areas with drama productions and school choir.

Fantastic school! Small class sizes and individualized attention for every student. Our kids came from public school and have flourished in the close knit environment . Not only is SMHS excellent for academics but for becoming well rounded and self confident.

An excellent school and dollar for dollar the best private school value in the region, based on comparative college entrance scores (ACT, SAT), AP classes and scores, sports, merit scholarships, and college acceptance. In addition to being a terrific academic community, the school hold students accountable for their personal choices and develops a moral compass. I have two children attending and they have grown into independent thinkers because of their excellent faculty, and the expectations that have been put upon them to grow academically, physically, and morally.
